Irish Supreme Court: Subway's Bread Isn't Bread

[Gus Richlen Was Wrong]

The most monumental food ruling since the US Supreme Court declared tomatoes to legally be vegetables? You... decide?

It sounds rather goofy putting it that way, but it sounds like their rationale is sound; they wanted a tax cut but their bread doesn't actually meet the legal requirements for it.

But why is a duck involved in this? And why is he wearing an inner tube with a smaller duck head on it?

No no no, you're actually thinking of ROY vs Wade:

Specifically, the sugar content is too high:

According to the Value-Added Tax Act of 1972, the sugar allowed in a bread product must not be more than 2% of the total weight of flour in the dough. Subway’s dough across all of their bread options as listed by the nutritional information on their website -- white bread, Italian, nine-grain wheat, honey oat, Italian herbs and cheese, nine-grain multiseed, and hearty Italian -- all contain about 10% sugar content.

I wish they'd have put that in the headline, because hoo boy, does what they're going with sound terrible. Reminded me of the debate over azodicarbonamide that had people saying Subway had rubber or yoga mat material in their bread.

If the Subway lawyers didn't start a pub brawl in that courtroom, is it really Ireland?

You can, but it's just gibberish now

The Irish government only overlooks taxation if a company sells apples.
